Game On!

After eating delicious zucchini patties at Ruby Tuesdays many months ago, I decided to make them on my own. Sometimes recipes are available online so I did a search and found one on a site called, Beth's Journey. Impressed with the recipe and the very delicious zucchini patties, I read through the blog.

Since she was a child, Beth has struggled with her weight. Her blog is about her efforts to live a healthy lifestyle. Since 2009 she has lost a significant amount of weight through Weight Watchers and exercise. I liked her style of writing - honest, open and helpful, so I signed up to receive her posts.

Her most recent post is about a contest that begins this Monday, March 4. The contest, also called Social Dieting, is run through Diet Bet. The basic premise is that participants pay an entry fee into a pot, then over the course of 4 weeks each participant tries to lose 4% of their body weight. All who succeed split the pot.

I am always a sucker for a fun way to lose weight and stay in shape, so I paid my $25 and signed on. If you are looking for a creative way to get yourself on track, check it out.
